This ship is in pretty nice shape for its age. I like the design and lay out. I didn’t like the fact they had no movies at the pool area at night. I always loved the nightly movies at the pool on other ships.

The food was really good in comparison to the Pride and the Spirit. Staff was really nice. We enjoyed the trivia and the staff there was amazing!

The shows were good. I really enjoyed the Classic Rock show and the 80’s Music show. We were on this ship in December of 2022 and these shows were much improved. They just sounded much better. Maybe different singers or maybe just much improved with all the practice.

Cabin Review

This is the gross water coming from the tap! Guest services gave us two six packs of water to use and sent champagne and cheese tray to the room. That was nice but still don’t want to shower or brush my teeth with this water. I can’t wait to get off this ship! Nobody can give me an answer declaring the water safe. I’m bringing a bottle home for a souvenir. I’ve was told this ship is going to dry dock after this cruise and they already started replacing the pipes on the ship. I guess they couldn’t wait to do this in dry dock. I’m so dissatisfied with this issue. I couldn’t wait to post this. I have two more nights on the ship. I will probably never book Carnival again after this disgusting mess. I went to the Lido deck for the buffet on Friday and they had Dirty Rice I will post a photo. I wonder if they used the tap water on deck 4 to make it? Hahaha See second photo.

The mattress in the room was awful. My back and hip hurt the entire cruise. The mattress was too soft and provided no support whatsoever. My wife and I cruise about once a month and I’ve never been more uncomfortable.
